This is a property in need of restoration. We went to a concert at Mohegan Sun and wanted budget friendly accommodation. Price was great and accommodations were adequate though sorely in need of updating. Everything was old and worn but the room was clean.

Decent place with plenty of space, but no coffee available, workers weren't very friendly, and the place needs a good deal of work. It's worth the money and clean enough, but needs a paint job and some renewal. Definitely could offer up some coffee, too.

My Husband and I have stayed at the Gold Star Inn since back in the days when it was the Econolodge. The Suites have 2 huge rooms, a very comfortable bed, a full size refrigerator (we bring lots of frozen food, so, the fridge is very important), and the price is right!
